Error when istalling modules

[enzo]

I get the following error message when installing modules:

Error!

Could not create a file (permissions problem?) /hsphere/local/home/******/fotobogi.com/modules/FormBuilder/templates/RenderFormTableTitleTop.tpl

I have tried several modules, all with the same error

Hope you can help me!

Make sure the webserver has write permissions on the /path/to/cmsms/modules directory (needed if you install new modules with xml; to upgrade modules the webserver also needs to be able to modify the existing module files).
Please paste the complete errormessage if that doesn't solve it (it's ok to blank out part of the paths, but there's more missing here).

I found that installing modules worked after commenting out the following line in method.install.php in the various module folders.

Code: Select all

if (! $this->CheckAccess()) exit;

Checking for permissions before the module is installed

That's not a standard function, so it's probably only one or two modules that have that problem.

Hey guys

Thanks for the rapid response. After a bit of mucking about, i finally got the module installed, at least, according to the extstension page in the admin. I AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF THE BANNER MODULE

However, when i want to add a banner, i get the following error message:
string(81) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "module_file_tpl:Banners;categorylist.tpl""
string(79) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "module_file_tpl:Banners;bannerlist.tpl""
string(79) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "module_file_tpl:Banners;adminprefs.tpl""

This goes beyond my knowledge of php or sql.

I have CHMOD'ed the entire content of the banner module folder to 777 prior to install
Can there be a problem with a connection string or maybe with a path?
